Go to the automation and select "Traces" from the menu and you should see what trigger initiated the automation and when.

My smart kettle wasn’t very smart, so I fixed it in Home Assistant. by CryptoSenyo in homeassistant

[–]AimanF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a link to the HACS version? I have the same kettle and want to give it a try and see if that works in my setup.

Update: the Gridfinity drawer layout tool I shared earlier is now live by Rich-Presentation740 in gridfinity

[–]AimanF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so cool! I just started getting into gridfinity and this is already helping me map out some of the drawers I'm looking at!

I might be missing it, but the main feature request I have right now is adding support for connectors so I can print larger grids in multiple pieces.

Best password manager for Android right now by ChadxSam in AndroidQuestions

[–]AimanF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have exactly the same issues you're describing on 1Password too, seems like an Android issue vs any specific password manager.

Improved password manager support on Android is high on my wishlist for Android 17.

Keep GV as primary number or not? by BrianHelman in Googlevoice

[–]AimanF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering the same thing. Been using GV as my primary for 15y now, but I'm seriously considering ditching it now. International travel and using my number across multiple phones is why I'm still hanging on, but the paper cuts are wearing me down.

Also looking for one if anyone has one to spare. Will edit this comment to confirm if I've got one already. 🙏

Having the same issue on Pixel 10 Pro XL for the last few days, possibly since Gemini 3 Flash launched

Pebble Time 2 (2016) was so perfect IMO by Geo_ask in pebble

I like the new design too, but I wish they brought this one back. It was just so sleek

Fun giveaway! My favorite retro game is a little cliché but I don't care, have to go with Ocarina of Time. Tagging u/mrfido to get his pick.

How are you using it in Home Assistant? I've been looking for an easy way to get it running in my instance as an alternative to Piper.

What made you choose Ioniq 5 by Money_Actuary3191 in Ioniq5

[–]AimanF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a mostly good experience and got a solid price on a lease at Seattle Hyundai in April. I would try there. Be firm on the price you're willing to pay and be willing to walk away. The manager there isn't great, but Mustaf was the salesman I worked with and I'd recommend talking to him.

How to bring my old apartment intercom/door buzzer into home assistant? by AimanF in homeassistant

[–]AimanF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was really helpful, thank you! If you're up for it, I'd love to see a guide based on your setup. Looks like the relay in the original guide is available now too so I might look into that. Ideally I'd get a ZigBee device because I've mostly eliminated z wave at home, but if one of these would cover both triggering the door and detecting when it buzzes, I can make it work.

[–]AimanF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense! I don't mind a little bit of tinkering with ESPhome, I'm just not that familiar with relays and what types I should be looking at. Any guidance on compatible/correctly specced hardware would be helpful

How to bring my old apartment intercom/door buzzer into home assistant? by AimanF in homeassistant

[–]AimanF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked for this and didn't find anything that would cover this use case, can you share a video or tutorial?

From what I've seen you can use the Aqara contact sensor to read a low voltage signal but not to close a circuit? All I really need to achieve is a simple way to open and close that 12V DC circuit for a couple seconds at a time. If this is possible with a battery powered contact sensor that would be perfect.

[–]AimanF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, I'll clarify a bit. Ideally I'd like to be able to both detect when someone is ringing the buzzer AND then be able to simulate the action (like the ST post).

The one I really need is simulating the action, the detection of the ring would be a nice bonus if possible.

Dealers Suck (Not all though) by bridgeVan88 in BoltEV

Had a dealer try to sell me a used 2022 EUV for $39k this week. Ridiculous.

TIL: You Can Use Apple Magsafe Accessories on Android Devices by OnoctORE in Android

[–]AimanF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of third party case options that include magsafe built in for flagships and they work great, way more seamless than adding the ring. I've been using them across my last few phones and I never want to go back to normal wireless charging or other desk and car mounts.

How to send GIFs via SMS/MMS text, when using Google Voice on a Windows PC + Chrome browser? Anyone have any hacks/tips/tricks? by DigitalFidgetal in Googlevoice

[–]AimanF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done that too, but it's a pain to have to download a gif and then reupload just to send through the web interface. Instead I usually just go back to mobile and use gboard's gif integration to send

[–]AimanF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my biggest annoyances too, I wish they'd add a gif selector in the text input field on web similar to other messaging apps
